Another great day for football. But, before the games start, Mark has a special treat..."truffled" soft-set scrambled eggs, toast and a bottle of Cotes-du-Rhone. This is, to be clear, a magnificent breakfast...eggs, truffles and red wine are an absolutely perfect match.
Then...more football...the first game is another blowout with Minnesota pummeling the Cowboys. But the second game is fun...the Jets upset the Chargers in a close one.And, of course, a few snacks from Faith's "bottomless pantry".
Around halftime of the second game, we all decide to head out for dinner to a nice little restaurant up the road in Key Colony Beach. They've got a sizable Italian selection on the menu...something that I haven't had for awhile...so I order veal Parmesan and pasta...excellent!
A great day from start to finish. Before and between games, I start packing up my stuff because, tomorrow, I'll be heading out of the Keys and on my way to Everglades National Park. Part of the packing involves the great Xmas gift that I got from Mark and Faith...it's a solid 10lb. block of Himalayan sea salt. You can heat it up in the oven, then bring it to the table and cook on it...awesome! And...when it's sufficiently worn down, you can grate the salt over food. Mark and Faith never fail to come up with an interesting, and eminently useful, gift.
